Software Engineer - Mid-level

Software Engineer 

Praxis Engineering creates exciting and novel mission solutions in the chaotic world of cyber related technologies and products. At the heart of Praxis Engineering are talented and motivated engineering teams empowered to create cutting edge technologies and systems to solve difficult problems for a wide variety of cyber mission operations. We are looking for Software Engineers who are looking to achieve the kind of game-changing leap forward that our customers need across a spectrum of cyber capabilities. 

What you will be doing: 

The Software Engineer develops, maintains, and enhances complex and diverse software systems (e.g., processing-intensive analytics, novel algorithm development, manipulation of extremely large data sets, real-time systems, and business management information systems) based upon documented requirements.  

Additional duties include: 

• Review and test software components for adherence to the design requirements and document test results.
• Resolve software-problem reports
• Utilize software development and software design methodologies appropriate to the development environment
• Provide specific input to the software components of system design to include hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, use of Commercial Off-the-shelf (COTS)/Government Off-the-shelf (GOTS) in place of new development, and requirements analysis and synthesis from system level to individual software components
• Analyze user requirements to derive software design and performance requirements
• Debug existing software and correct defects
• Provide recommendations for improving documentation and, software development process standards
• Design and code new software or modify existing software to add new features
• Integrate existing software into new or modified systems or operating environments 
• Develop simple data queries for existing or proposed databases or data repositories
• Write or review software and system documentation
• Design or implement complex database or data repository interfaces/queries
• Develop or implement algorithms to meet or exceed system performance and functional standards
• Assist with developing and executing test procedures for software components
• Develop software solutions by analyzing system performance standards, confer with users or system engineers; analyze systems flow, data usage and work processes; and investigate problem areas
• Modify existing software to correct errors, to adapt to new hardware, or to improve its performance
• Design, develop and modify software systems, using scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure outcome and consequences of design

What you need: 

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related discipline from an accredited college or university is required, and seven (7) years of experience as a Software Engineer, in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity is required.
• Four (4) years of additional SWE experience on projects with similar software processes may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree.
• Key skills in: C, C++, Objective-C, ARM assembly (thumb, 32, 64), generally Posix system interfaces along with Python

Clearance: Active TS/SCI with an appropriate polygraph is required to be considered for this role
